GUH 731W A tale of happiness then woe then more happiness

[Jon Tilson]

What primers and paints are you using Rich? That milky stiff looks like some stuff I use...

Jonners

[richard4040]

No paints or primers yet Jon. Just two coats of hydrate80 rust killer:)

Tonight saw us start to close off the n/s arch. Did more than this but I forgot to take pictures.









Also fitted one more piece to that. And Robert done some filling on the o/s arch that I forgot to take pictures of. Will get some tomorrow!

Oh also that stuff on the wing is called cold front. It's supposed to stop the panel from warping with the heat of welding. It's better than the other side but still warped a little:(

[richard4040]

Here's a few pics from tonight and some catchup ones from yesterday.














This bit was hard to hold. So we improvised!





And a picture of the work area:D




More tomorrow!

[richard4040]

Ok so yesterday and today we tackled the n/s a pillar which had a small ish hole in it.





Which very quickly went down hill into rather a large hole!









But soon started taking shape.

























Absolutely over the moon with progress so far:D

[richard4040]

Sorry if some of the pictures look upside down but the car is upside down haha.

[richard4040]

More progress pictures.





















Stay tuned folks!

[richard4040]

Floor pan is coming along really well now. Almost ready for some paint!





Made a slide hammer to get the worst of the dents out





















Got some more filler on the rear arch tubs:)

[richard4040]

Also go the b pillars stripped.







And the original seat mount plates got deleted:D

[richard4040]

Got a bit more done tonight.



















If there's anyone watching stay tuned for more:D
